I'm still not convinced that this is the best option, my "use the
dpkg-divert approach only as last ressort" statement still stands.
Said that, I would rather do in the postrm something like:
#v+
for CITY in $(dpkg-divert --list | grep ' by tz-brasil$' | awk '{print $3}');
do
dpkg-divert --package tz-brasil --rename --remove $CITY
done
#v-
That way you won't have any files left and no need to duplicate the
citylist in both maintainer scripts in case it would need to get
changed. It has though one small issue: Won't work with spaces in
filenames - but I doubt that those happen in tzdata (yeah, I know it -
famous last words and such).
Also, curious, why move the set -e to after defining the variables? :)
And I personally don't consider it good style to convert a package's
source format in an NMU - please try to avoid such things.
Thanks,
Rhonda
